Preservice teachers will examine the definition of Inclusive Education with a focus on differentiating pedagogy to meet learner requirements. Pre-service teachers will be taught about the diverse learners they may encounter in their specialist areas. Pre-service teachers will be given guidance to help make accommodations and modifications to the curriculum and the learning environment in order to meet the learning requirements of children/students with special needs. In addition, pre-service teachers will be introduced to national and international policies and legislation guiding the inclusion of children/students with special needs into mainstream classrooms.
